MSD8x/USB8x
« on: October 28, 2010, 12:44:22 pm »
Yesterday, the adapter cable for USB8x came in the mail, and i was euphoric.  I was able to use a mouse and keyboard to get input, but for some reason my flash drive would work with MSD8x.  It simply says "Drive not responding to commands".  This leads me to think that either the drive is not supported, or that I don't have enough power.  If I run MSD8x a second time, it does the odd glitch where the app menu ends up with a cursor.  I tested it with both a 2G and a 256M flash drives.  I know the 2G one to be FAT16.

On a scale from 0 to 4, with 4 being new and 0 being poor, my batteries return a 4.  (according to my battery checking program)
3 are Energizer and one are Duracell.
Testing with a voltmeter, all of the batteries are in the "good" zone, but one is bordering "good" and "?".

Any ideas?

Does your calculator have the extra RAM pages? Because MSD8x doesn't work if you don't. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

I have some kinda the same story to tell. I also received an adapter, but nothing I tried worked D: USBTools constantly gives me an error 0500(the first time), and error 0505 (all other times I try). what could be the problem? I tried connecting almost everything! Printers, mice, usb pendrives, but nothing worked! please help me too!

If you don't have extra RAM pages, it can still work, but with many less flash drives and a lot more bugs.

I've determined that for some reason my FAT16 drive isn't supported.  Anyone know if MSD8x wants it formatted in a certain way?

@Darl181: Are you having problems?  I almost made one, but I couldn't bring myself to buy a cord just to cut in half for USB ends.  I did the research though.

Yes, I've tried to make two.  Neither gave the slightest indication of working.  0C00 error.
drives I've tried are an old Dane-elec 84mb and a sandisk cruzer micro skin 128mb.

there is something I noticed: when I connect a digital camera using the cable that came with my calc (TI84+), which has one usb mini A and one usb mini B male plugs, and I put the mini A in my calc (because it won't fit in my cam), and the mini B in my cam, USBTools detects the cam, and gives me a bunch of info about connection type and such kinda stuff, BUT when I use a cable with two usb mini B plugs, USBTools does NOT detect anything, and gives a ERROR 0500

EDIT: the camera I used is a Canon Powershot A590

Mini B doesn't work with calcs.  At all.  Except when the other end is plugged into a computer.

LIES. All of the calc-to-calc link cables that come with the TI-84+ are mini-A on one end and mini-B on the other.

Mini-A has to be in the mix somewhere.

I think it's perhaps only USB8x which does not support mini B

EDIT:
@SirCmpwn: why?

can't USB8x support this in the future?
